Rope Rescue Operational/Technician: May 6-9 or May 13-16, 2019

SFT is forming a cadre to update Rope Rescue Operational (currently Low Angle Rope Rescue Operational) and Rope Rescue Technician courses. The cadre will be responsible to update the courses to meet NFPA and FEMA requirements, as well as to meet the needs of the California Fire Service.

Additionally, components from Rescue Systems 1 will be incorporated into both curriculums based on the SFT Technical Rescue Curriculum Update plan. Rope Rescue Operational and Rope Rescue Technician will be set up so that applications can seek CFSTES certification. Finally, the cadre will evaluate current instructor and training site requirements, and recommend changes, if needed.

This project requires a commitment from you as well as your department to make it a success.

Those who are selected to participate in a Cal Fire Curriculum Cadre will receive an email notification with further instructions. We encourage all interested to apply! Best of luck!
